Astranis MicroGEO Satellite Seems to Have Failed

One of Astranis' four recently launched MicroGEO satellites headed to geostationary orbit seems to have suffered a failure, leaving it stuck in transfer orbit as orbital debris, space situational awareness expert Jim Shell posted on X late Tuesday. The four MicroGEOs were launched in December and were intended to enter into service this summer. Shell said one of the four seemingly hasn't maneuvered since early February. Astranis didn't comment Wednesday.
